Tried Archpup in a VM (with vesa) and I found no way to change the resolution of the screen (which runs out of my physical screen).
Normally I adjust that with xorgwizard but is apparently not present. What would be the Arch tool/command to change the Vesa screen settings?

I guess I need to ask the same question. Not that it makes a difference, but knowing would be beneficial. That said, woof or not, to me at least it make no difference; it's impressive none-the-less. But knowing whether or not it was done via woof would be beneficial, and if so, how it was accomplished would be most helpful. IMHO, a build that can use the arch repo, woof or not, is the most useful in regards to a modern puppy.. Hands down, if it can work with a puppy frugal install, the arch "way" would be the ultimate "way". Slacko and Debian aside, the arch-linux package manager is always "cutting edge". Pacman is probably the best linux package manager available to date For myself, I find this line of reasoning extremely exciting.

There is a very important difference: every Puppy made from the latest Woof can be translated by the official language packs for Puppy Linux. More languages means more users and testers._________________Puppy Linux en español

Hi, it's not made with woolf2 but use settings from rootfs-skeleton
inside woof.
To make it I used 3 scripts:
- spkg package manager which uses def-scripts to create packages
similiar to arch PKGBUILD or slitaz receipt
-paka is script to convert arch linux packages into spkg.
For all compiled or converted packages this creates folder inside
/var/lib/pacman/local in format $NAME-$VERSION-$REVISION,
so pacman will recognize them as installed.
-finally script called arch is used to extract packages,
create needed busybox links, move some libriaries to /lib,
split development files and create arch-1204.sfs

The idea, and the implementation also brilliant, congratulations.
One more idea - but I'm a user, not a programmer, so do not scold.

Puppy is very comfortable for a user to *. pet of the installation packages.
May not be possible to solve this function: so for example a not only firefox pacman, but .pet out even asking you to install?

- Added gtk-update-icon-cache-2.24.10-3 into arch-base
- Keyboard default is us
- Thunar compiled wih --enable-wallpaper-plugin, so it can show wallpaper
and disk drives if you install xfce
- Fixed /etc/profile, so X automatically start only on boot
- Fixed /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown to remove content inside /tmp on reboot or shutdown
- Added /usr/bin/disktype so sfs_load will not complain about wrong squashfs version. ArchPup
will be able to load 20 sfs files.

If someone wants to help it would be nice to have GUI for creating save file, and
ask user only to choose desired size and partition.

Some point to consider:
- bash-4 - most arch packages depend on bash-4, so it would be better to install it in your base
- pkg-files in /var - on installation a few messages are displayed that files in /var/... are missing. could that be the files of the preinstalled packages?
